Description
Rationality Through Reasoning answers the question of how people are motivated to do what they believe they ought to do. It is built on a comprehensive account of normativity, rationality, and reasoning that differs significantly from much existing philosophical thinking.
Key Features:
- Develops an original account of normativity, rationality, and reasoning that is significantly different from the majority of existing philosophical thought.
- Includes an account of theoretical and practical reasoning that explains how reasoning is something we ourselves do, rather than something that happens in us.
- Provides an account of what reasons are and argues that the connection between rationality and reasons is much less close than many philosophers have thought.
- Contains rigorous new accounts of oughts, including owned oughts, agent-relative reasons, the logic of requirements, instrumental rationality, the role of normativity in reasoning, following a rule, the correctness of reasoning, the connections between intentions and beliefs, and much more.
- Offers a new answer to the โmotivation questionโ of how a normative belief motivates an action.
